ACEs & Families First Learning & Recommissioning Event - POSTPONED

Apologies - NOW POSTPONED:

This is a diary marker for the Families First Learning & Recommissioning Event. The event will focus on the learning from the current programme and the requirements of the new Families First programme, with a specific focus on tackling Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). You can find out more about ACEs and how they’re being tackled in Wales athttp://www.aces.me.uk/in-wales/

Over the summer and early autumn, they will be holding a series of workstreams to design the new programme. Anyone who wants to be involved in this critical process to shape prevention and early intervention for children, young people and their families should be invited to this event which will set the scope of the future programme. This event will specifically look at the recommissioning of Families First services in Powys, the Children’s First approach developing in Newtown and the potential to develop an ACE-focussed secondary school in the county. They really hope you can make it and please share this event with your colleagues who may be able to attend and input.

They appreciate that this date is during Royal Welsh Show week and in the middle of the CSSIW Inspection of Children’s Services yet they feel it will provide a useful briefing for those who may be meeting with the inspectors in the second week of their visit. To account for the Royal Welsh Show traffic, the session will run from 10.30am until 3pm at the latest. Please indicate whether you are able to attend as this will let us know if the event is viable by contacting children.youngpeople@powys.gov.uk

They can confirm that colleagues from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Hub from the national Public Health Wales Team set up by Welsh Government will be attending on the day. A full agenda will follow nearer the date.
